....more tears. Lots and lots and there a mumble in there about how she'd not known with Jim either and she was bad bad bad and he was soooooo nice.
MumblegarbleSNOTgulp.
"I'm a kn-knut. Just a kn-knut." WAAAHHHHH. That was ALL she was WORTH. A knut.
"Yeah, 'cause I was thinking about going home... not because of that. I wanted to get leaving this place over with, but I overreacted. I don't know what I was thinking, and it was stupid of me to say it like that..." Jake trailed off, looking straight at Neptune with a slightly pained expression. "And I told you I wasn't good at all this either."
Jake took Neptune's hand tentatively. "I'm sorry I confused you. But... I do love you Neptune." And it was SO hard for him to say that... because the last time he'd said it, he thought it would be reciprocated forever. "You are worth the entire universe to me..." And that was possibly infinite.
Looking ashamed with himself, Jake looked down. GUH. So many thoughts had been rushing through his head for so long and he was... just confused. And ashamed with what he thought. Mainly about Jimmy.
But he didn't bring that up, because he seemed to be wrong.
